Who should review CCP data daily and take corrective actions?

• A. A supervisor
• B. A customer
• C. A QA officer
• D. A janitor

Answer: (A)

Monitoring CCPs requires someone with on-the-spot authority to act when limits are breached. The supervisor who oversees the production line is responsible for daily review of CCP data, recognizing deviations, and implementing predefined corrective actions to bring the process back into control. The QA officer verifies and audits the records to ensure the HACCP plan is being followed, but day-to-day monitoring and immediate corrective steps are typically done by the supervisor. A customer doesn’t manage internal process controls, and a janitor isn’t trained or authorized to monitor CCPs or implement corrective actions. So, the supervisor is the person who should review CCP data daily and take corrective actions.
